He was sent feet-first into the boards in Sunday’s 5-1 win over Sheffield.

Chambers left the ice immediately and x-rays will show if he has a sprain or a broken ankle.

With his sparkling form bringing much of Coventry’s creativity in recent weeks and Adam Calder still out with a knee injury, coach Paul Thompson knows he could be missing two of his vital cogs in the championship run-in. But he has backed his remaining players to carry the side through.

He said: “Some of the plays he has made have been worth the admission fee alone.

“But if he is out, everyone else has to step up ten per cent to cover the loss.

“I knew when I signed him the had the tools to do what he has been doing. He sees the play better than anyone in the league. But he was too big in Basingstoke, carrying too much weight. He has worked hard and we have worked him hard, and he has lost 31 pounds. We are reaping the rewards and I hope we don’t have him out for too long.”

Blaze, sponsored by Coventry Plumbing and Heating, next play on Thursday, when Cardiff visit the Skydome, before travelling to Nottingham on Saturday and welcoming Edinburgh on Sunday.
